Turn your iPhone into a Tesco Clubcard

A classic example of over engineering. I would imagine that most people are like me and carry their Tesco clubcard in their wallet right next to their debit or credit card. Tesco in the last year added the clubcard keychain to members in case you didn't want to carry a clubcard in your wallet. I'm not sure why you wouldn't but in Tesco's defence I do see a lot of people using them.

Tesco obviously wants to get into the digital age as they have now released an iPhone App that allows you to enter your clubcard details into the phone and convert it into a barcode that can be scanned in at the till. For some reason though it can only be used where a the till is operated by a member of staff, it will not work at the self service tills.

I'm not sure why you would use this App, unless you want to look like a complete (you pick the word) getting your iPhone out and passing it across the till. But in case you do here is the link.
